While the decisive current question is whether the incoming Trump Administration will truly bury the "regime-change war doctrine" and pursue productive economic cooperation with China and Russia, there were reminders today of Barack Obama's other sad legacy, the economy. The U.S. Council on Competitiveness released a report on U.S. productivity titled "No Recovery," and aptly headlined in USA Today, "The Obama Recovery Wasn't a Recovery After All." And the National Center for Health Statistics issued a grimmer study, finding that life expectancies for the entire U.S. population are...read more

The latest in a series of interviews with Virginia state Senator Richard Black, EIR's Will Wertz discusses the latest triumph of the Syrian Army in liberating over 50% of the rebel held territories in Aleppo, allowing tens of thousands of Syrians to be freed from the western-backed terrorists who have been using civilians as human shields in the battle against Syrian President Assad's forces. Senator Black, who traveled to Syria earlier this year, and met with President Assad, discusses the prospect for peace and reconstruction in the war torn country and how U.S. intervention can and must...read more

On the 75th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec. 7, 1941 — "a date which will live in infamy," as FDR declared — a similar shock is spreading through the United States, and the world, as the British Empire is facing its possible final demise. Politically, economically, and strategically, the Empire is trembling, with Mt. Olympus crumbling under its feet. — Strategically, the "regime change" wars waged by Bush, Blair, Cameron, and Obama across the Middle East, turning country after country over to bestial terrorist gangs, are coming to an end on the battlefields of Syria.read more

The revolutionary changes sweeping through the western nations are provoking hysteria among the has-been, discredited national leaders in Europe and the United States. The Brexit, the U.S. electoral defeat of the Obama/Hillary plan for war on Russia and China, the Philippine revolt against Obama’s Asia Pivot, and nation after nation in Europe rejecting the anti-Russia sanctions and demonization of Putin—these and more represent a recognition across the West that their leadership has been under the control of financial oligarchs and war-crazed neoconservatives who can no longer be tolerated...read more

The formal transition to the next Presidency of the United States—we have 45 days until Inauguration Day for Donald Trump—is getting incessant attention in the U.S. and other media, but the historically significant transition in the world at large, is: how fast and surely will the U.S. and Europe exit the geopolitical, casino-economic system, and enter the new win-win world paradigm? Enlisting people to help make this critical transition happen is the challenge. This involves their making a subjective shift, to becoming active, no longer passively watching and waiting. There are moments in...read more

Unlike the hysteria still continuing in the United States, no one is claiming that Russia fixed the voting machines for Italians' overwhelming defeat of a referendum handing over their laws, courts, and legislature to the European Union. But the promoter of the referendum, Italian Prime Minister Renzi, is just as surely defeated and resigning.read more

On November 9, 2016, the morning after the dramatic U.S. presidential election—when Trump's victory left most analysts at home and abroad either babbling nonsense or in stunned silence— Lyndon LaRouche stated clearly that Trump's victory was part of a global, not a local or national process, in which the entire edifice of globalization and free trade was crumbling. LaRouche said that nothing is yet a settled question, and that the process is being steered by Presidents Putin of Russia and Xi of China, and by the global alternative that they are presenting—an alternative based on policies...read more

Can Americans harness their newfound sense of political empowerment to demand a Hamiltonian program of economic development? Now is the moment for a "mass movement for development!" Kesha Rogers and Diane Sare join host Matthew Ogden on tonight's LaRouchePAC weekly webcast to discuss the immense opportunity we have to propel the United States into the new paradigm of economic development now sweeping the planet, radiating from China's "One Belt One Road" initiative. As a new whitepaper published by the Chinese states, development is the fundamental "inalienable right" of mankind, and what...read more
